You Know You Want to Elope in Ontario; We Can Help With the Rest
You’re already picturing exchanging vows by the water, disappearing into the forest, sharing delicious food with your chosen family, or watching the sun go down. You know you want something slower, intentional, and unapologetically yours.
But now you’re wondering where in Ontario to elope, whether you need a permit, how to find somewhere beautiful without a crowd, and what happens if the weather goes sideways. It can start to feel like a lot!
We’ll help you find an Ontario location that feels right, and create a day with enough breathing room to enjoy it.

by popping some champagne!
Here’s How This Works
Ontario offers plenty to choose from, including waterfalls, lakeshores and forests. We’ll help you narrow it all down and turn those ideas into an elopement that feels like yours.
01 Tell us what you’re dreaming up
Start by filling out our contact form and tell us about you two and what’s exciting you about an Ontario elopement. We’re down to hear anything, whether you’re already picturing vows by the water, want to disappear into the forest, or have no clue yet. You’ll have the option to book a call right away if you’re ready.
02 Meet your potential elopement duo
We’ll do a little happy dance when your inquiry lands in our inbox, then cozy up with a chai in hand to read through all the details personally! We’ll typically get back to you within 48 hours and we can hop on a call, where we’ll chat about what you want your day to feel like and answer all your questions.
03 Make Team You Two official
We’ll learn more about your ideas and make sure we’re the right humans to have beside you for all of this. Then, we’ll send over the paperwork and officially claim our spots on Team You Two.
04 Plan your dream Ontario day
We’ll help you narrow down locations and work through permits, inclusive vendors, logistics, timelines, and backup plans. Together, we’ll build everything into a day with enough breathing room to enjoy where you are.
05 Say your I dos
We’ll meet up the night before for a beer or tea, answer those last-minute questions, and finally hang out IRL. Then, it’s time to get some sleep because tomorrow, you’re marrying your favourite person your way.
06 Make your memories tangible
You’ll get about 10 sneak peeks within 48 hours and your full gallery within 16 weeks. Add a custom album, and we’ll create the first design for you, choosing photographs that tell the story from beginning to end. You can swap photos and choose your customizations before we send it to print and have the finished album delivered straight to your door.

Your Ontario Elopement Deserves a Soundtrack You Can Hear Again
Some memories are meant to move
We skipped video at our own wedding, and it’s a decision we wish we could change. We have the photographs, but we’ll never get to press play and hear our voices saying our vows again.
It’s why we care so much about documenting more than what your Ontario elopement looks like. We want you to hear the waves hitting the shore, the trees moving above you, your favourite people chatting nearby, or the splash after you jump into the lake with your lover.
Film gives you the voices and movement that make your day yours.
That’s exactly why you can add video to any of our Ontario elopement packages.

Hold Your Love Story in Your Hands With an Album
We love the digital world, but tangibility feels different. We’re vinyl lovers, VHS collectors, book people, and big believers that printing is its own art form.
Through our print shop, you can turn your elopement photos into museum- and fine-art-grade archival albums and prints made to live in your home and your family’s hands. You can also choose to preserve your love in a video album that lets you press play IRL.
Get grounded together
Add a Little Wellness Ritual to Your Ontario Elopement
Who decided elopements can’t include a tarot reading before the vows? If couples yoga, meditation, Reiki, tarot, or Thai yoga massage would help you feel more grounded and connected before you say I do, there’s absolutely room for that in your Ontario elopement. We can chat about it over tea!
At The Organic Moment, We Care Deeply About Your Love and the Places You Celebrate It
We want you to take up space in the outdoors exactly as you are, without changing your love, body, identity, or your relationship to fit someone else’s expectations. Whether you’re LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, disabled, or of any size, age, nationality, religion, or spirituality, you deserve to have your love celebrated and documented with care.
While we’re celebrating you, we’ll also care for the places holding those memories. We follow Leave No Trace principles, respect park rules, protect wildlife, and do our part to leave the outdoors ready for whoever falls in love with it next.
Love doesn’t need outdated rules, and the outdoors needs stewardship. Anyone who disagrees can sashay away.
The duo joining you for your day
Hey, We’re Liz (She/Her) and Jason (He/Him!)
When you elope, your guest list might be tiny, which means we could be two of the few people there when you exchange vows. Being invited into that space means a whole lot to us.
With nearly two decades of storytelling experience, we’re here to make it as comfortable as possible. We’ll listen, give you space to be yourselves, and have your back when eloping your way gets a side-eye from Aunty Bertha. (She’ll survive.)
Hear from
Lovers Who Eloped
“From start to finish, Liz and Jason were thoughtful and brought such calm, friendly, and professional energy that made us feel completely at ease. They took the time to meet with us the night before the elopement to walk through the details and make sure everything would run smoothly — that extra care meant so much and really set the tone for a relaxed and meaningful day.”
Brianna + Eric
Your Elopement Should Leave Something Good Behind
We’ll point you toward vendors who also care about the environment, prioritize locally made albums and recycled paper, and plant trees in your names once the celebrating is over. You can choose your wedding date or another meaningful number to determine how many we plant. It’s a little something from your love story, given back to Mamma Earth.
yes, that is really
a heart-shaped rock (!!!)
